I saw a friend today who was feeling pretty down about looking after everyone in her extended family big time, and taking the stress out on her immediate family. I didn’t say so at the time, but the last few days I too have been taking my stress out on my household. There’s [...]
Yesterday via the recommendation of a dear friend I found the flylady. She has “the program” for getting out of chaos. I quote, “…this can work for you. You can easily adapt FlyLady's system to fit your own lifestyle. You will find that with time, your house and life will pull together.” She [...]
To answer Ian’s question, a prayer garden I’m thinking, is a quiet place to sit, and pray, a seat with a view of the trees, some inspiration things around like lavender and rosemary and lamb’s tongue (‘cos it feel nice), bulbs, and some religious arty things, sculptures, mosaics, and a waterhole type thingy and maybe [...]

What a great day. The north wind was warm, the sun was out, the clouds were black, and eventually there was a thunder storm. Summer is on it’s way. I love summer. It reminds me of playing in the school yard, just running, feeling the wind on my skin. I love [...]
